Selected Plays of Helene Cixous

In the English-speaking world, Helene Cixous is known more for her criticism and theoretical texts than for her playwriting. Yet Cixous' work as a playwright establishes her as a participant in some of the most adventurous theatre-making in Europe within the last forty years. This unique collection brings together four of her plays - three of which appear here in English for the first time - a new interview with the author on her theatre-making, a translation of her essay, 'Enter the Theatre' and a complete list of her productions. The Selected Plays of Helene Cixous is an extraordinary resource for scholars, students and theatre-makers alike, bringing together some of the most resonant play-texts of the twentieth-century.
